Every now and then, when London gets too much, I'll take a trip to Greenwich - a town that couldn't feel more detached from London and could be mistaken for any countryside village... If it weren't for the distant views of Canary Wharf across the Thames.
Over Christmas I'll always head over to Greenwich for the market; the food stalls (the important bit) are out all weekend and this year I purchased some jams and marmalade's from Doigs of Troon and some doggy popcorn from another stall - both made for much appreciated Christmas gifts.
This time however, we went to visit The Royal Observatory. We visited the little line (technical term) that separates the East and West longitudes and although this doesn't make for a very visually please picture, it was fun jumping from side to side, arguing whether East or West side was the best!
En route home, we stopped by a nice pub to warm up. We chose ales from the menu that were brewed locally - this chocolate porter was delish, but a meal in itself! The burger that came after was unnecessary!
